I agree its stupidity of them, and death penalty seems too harsh. And was this case being handled by politicians, so it was unfair trial? Image if their logbook or journal were destroyed before discovered by Brits, would they still get away with it? I remembered reading somewhere about Russia sub crew shot down some Norway fishermen at a port, did they get trial and sentence? I recalled some of Brits actions against civilians were considered as war crime, but only Allied weren't liability on anything they did were considered unethical? So was this case was more to peers or propaganda purpose than justice?
